Design and installation spe- <br />cifications for excavated drop inlet protection include: <br />- Provide a depth of 1-2 ft as measured from the crest of the inlet structure. <br />- Slope sides of excavation should be no steeper than 2H A V. <br />Minimum volume of excavation is 35 cubic yards. <br />• Shape the excavation to fit the site, with the longest dimension oriented toward the longest <br />inflow area. <br />Install provisions for draining to prevent standing water. <br />. Clear the area of all debris. <br />2019 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington <br />Volume ll - Chapter 3 - Page 357 <br />
